Hi Shawn:
I’ve owned Corsair I & II over the years. I still have my complete Corsair II
line with all accessories/ filters that I purchased at the end of the
production run. They all experienced the wobble/jumping of frequency with the
PTO when the grease started to harden or (with use & age) the brass shaft
became worn. Usually the lack of maintaining proper grease on shaft resulted in
premature wear on the shaft due to the softness. There have been many post on
this list in the past regarding types of grease others found to do the job. A
search of the archives will give you a lot of info. As for the drift, good
luck. ALL of the Corsair units I’ve owned had some slight drift. Don’t know if
any of the “compensating” kits are still available that worked fairly well in
pulling the frequency back due to heat build up. They are a great radio for CW
use and have a very good receiver even by todays standards.
